Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Replying to [comment:1 gk]:
 > I tried to reproduce both issues but failed with a clean Tor Browser
 8.0.8 on Windows 7. So, I wonder what goes wrong on the user's computer.
 Maybe some extra tools installed are interfering?

 I just tried this on my own Windows 7 computer with browser 8.0.8 and it
 *does* persist for me. I went to Wikipedia with the slider set to "Safer"
 and viewed some videos that were click-to-play. After restarting Tor
 Browser and checking the NoScript settings "per-site permissions", the
 whitelisted URLs are being shown like this one:

 I restarted Tor Browser with New Identity, and I closed and re-opened it,
 and I rebooted my computer, so I can *confirm* that this is an issue!
